Nothing new at St. Peters, mo. Left over amphibious vehicles, mutt/trailers, some 12" figures and one patrol boat.

So, Chap Mei did a version of the A-10 Thunderbolt a ways back...how could one most easily go about finding one of those? Does it offer any particular advantage over the Elite Force or World Peacekeepers versions?

The GI Joe one is typically cartoon-ish, the Chap Mei one is pretty basic, it has strange moldings, completely the wrong type of nose gun (like a helicopter turret, rather than the monster that the real plane was built around), and has an open manned turret on top(!?). The Elite force one is a little small and proportioned like Jimbo. There is also a Terminator one, which, while it looks okay, is a Micro Machine. |

In my opinion, the PTE one pisses all over all of them.

Augh! My eyes! I just Googled the Chap Mei A-10, and it's sooo much worse than the Rattler!
I always laugh at the enormous cockpits these planes have. They've all got big, huge egg-shaped cockpits with itty bitty wings and fuselage. I get that an actual 1:18 scale plane would be like three feet long, but they look terrible. Some of the Joe aircraft (like the Skystriker or Conquest) did an okay job of disguising it, but it becomes very noticeable in the later Joe toys. |

So I checked both Big Lots locations in Huntsville, AL this week.
The University Drive location has the small tent and locker room sets, the new amphibian set with trailer and dirt bike, and the transport set with M151 MUTT and trailer. The North Parkway location has a much larger assortment. They have the following: 1. Both the sand and gray versions of the battlefield playset (ruined two story structure) 2. Both colors of the watch tower 3. The small tent and locker room sets 4. The new amphibian set with trailer and dirt bike 5. The amphibian by itself 6. The black patrol boat 7. Fast attack vehicle 8. Transport set with M151 MUTT and trailer 9. Rocket helicopter 10. Camo HMMWV pickup No sign of the military base or F18. Could be too early to tell. |
